Fun, festive flavour at Twilight Market

GET into Christmas mode in the heart of the south later this month as the Golden Plains Twilight Market returns for its fifth year.

The Bannockburn Heart precinct will be bursting with festive fun, and produce straight from local farms, including fruits, veggies, meat, vegan-friendly food, and blooms, from 4pm to 9pm next Thursday, 16 December.

Local arts, crafts and gifts will be available, while marketgoers enjoy live music, beer, wine, cocktails, and other tasty treats.

Golden Plains Shire mayor Cr Gavin Gamble said the 2021 Twilight Market is the ideal place to prepare for Christmas Day, while boosting and celebrating local small enterprises.

“It’s terrific to have the Golden Plains Twilight Market return for another year. With this year’s Market set to be bigger than ever before, it’s the perfect chance to help the economic recovery this festive season,” he said.

“By visiting and shopping at the market, you’re not only treating yourself to the best our Shire has to offer, you’re also supporting local small business after what has been a difficult year.

“It’s really important for the prosperity and employment opportunities within our Shire for everyone to buy as local as reasonably possible.”

Thirty shortlisted works from the 2021 Spring in the Shire photography competition will be showcased at the Twilight Market, and winners will be announced at 5.45pm.

The event is supported by Bannockburn & District Grants, Golden Plains Storage, and Stockdale & Leggo Bannockburn.
